Talk About Overkill

[Ron61]

In todays paper. Blue Lake which is a small town just off the coast in Northern Calif., and is a nice place had their police force of 4 people disbanded and the chief is in prison. After numerous run ins with students, and other town people, someone finally pushed hard enough to have an investigation. The 4 man police force was armed with 31 sub machine guns and numerous other illegal weapons. The chief was arrested for drugging his wife and forcing her to have sex with him. At his home they found 111 other guns of various makes and several of them were not registered. Many are illegal such as the James Bond type which had a silencer and various automatic weapons. The population of the whole community is 1,150 and many of them have guns. The crime rate there is low and I have been there several times and it is a nice small town to visit. For now the town has contracted with the sheriff's office top have deputies as their police until they can decide what to do.

Ron, I want a BAR, been looking for a long time....If you run across one let me know.

Perry,

As more comes out about that police chief the worse it is. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a tank hidden in the mountains there. Now they are saying he came into the town a few years ago and is an arrogant jerk and that none of the people liked him except the city council. Seems he has had several lawsuits and complaints filed against him for everything from harassment of the businesses to harassing students who aren't white, but the city council has refused to do anything. Now I guess they are coming up for election and his wife/rape plus the profiling of students brought this about. The more they put out about him, the more I wonder how he survived there even with the city council as his friends. The only crime they have in that little town is a break in or something like that once in a while and he had a budget that is more than Redding can afford. His attorney made his first news statements and he is claiming the guy has a right to all of those guns, registered or not because: 1. He is a cop. 2. Many of them he got free or they were given to him. Now does that mean if someone GIVES me a 50 caliber or a machine gun I can have it. Before this is over it may be quite interesting.

Perry, if you don't want the full auto headache (or price) Ohio Ordinance makes a semi-auto copy:

The BAR was quite the beast and in my opinion Mr. Browning was an arms designer without equal.

[trularin]

Perry, I think you will need a type 3 license for the BAR, but check out auctionarms.

[427 S/O]

What I want and what it takes, might be more of a headache than I need?.

i dunno but someone here has an avatar with quite a rack on
it, looks deadly to me

[hey,littlecobra]

uncltodd.....
his cobra is named 'Gunrack'

[Wes Tausend]

...

U.T., Perfect! Gas it and swing the Cobra around so as the deer (target) is on the drivers side, jump over the RH door without bothering to open it, and barely clear leather (rack) before firing.

I've got a BAR (nice fiddleback stock) that I don't use much but, considering the times, it might be better to hang onto it. Besides, it's a BAR II .243, not quite what you're looking for, Perry. I don't use it much because it is heavy to carry, but we take it with as a back-up.

Everybodies backing off 1st draw deer hunting this year, mostly account gas prices and economy. And I don't think I can reliably get off work this year. Rats.

[Ron61]

Wes,

By the time you figure in gas and other expenses, just how much per pound would the meat cost if you did go hunting? I have watched people come up here from the Bay Area to hunt and spend $300/$400 in the stores on beer, food, and other necessities before they even start to the mountains to hunt. The deer around here aren't as plentiful as they used to be and I think the droughts and people building in the hills have driven them to other areas.

An aside, my part of Okrahoma is so thick with deer that they are turning into a road hazard at dusk/night/dawn!

A little girl I work with has totalled her second crumple car in a year due to venison violence.

The first was a doe that came through the windscreen, luckily on the passenger's side.

The latest, last week, was a trophy 12-point buck that destroyed her front end!!! She's five-foot nuthin', maybe 100 lb wet, thank God her airbag went off.

A second aside: right after I took delivery of Gunrack in August, '04, I posted a pic and a forum member from NZ, as I recall, asked why I had two roll bars. (This was pre-Forum Crash, I'm hazy on the details)

I ran to WalMart and got a cheap plastic pickup-type window gunrack (common here) hacksawed it, mounted it to the roll bars with hose clamps, dropped in my alley broom, and took a pic or two.

I posted to our man from NZ that Okrahoma law requires that all vehicles have the capability of mounting a gunrack, in emergency situations, also mentioned States' rights, some other smoke.

He thanked me for my explanation.

Thus "Gunrack."

I still feel bad about messing with that poor guy's head. He probably thinks I have to watch out for flying arrows here in the Indian Territory.
